Japanese Maple Problem
Comments (2)I had this exact problem with a mature Bloodgood Japanese Maple after some severe rains. Branches were lost but the tree survived. Make sure there are no external factors, like lawn applicants that could have affected the tree. Prune the tree back into shape and see how it grows this coming growing season....See MoreElm and Japanese maple problems
Comments (2)Were your winter low temperatures considerably colder than usual? It does happen that plants suffer severe but hard to detect injury due to cold, leaf out and grow normally in the spring only to succumb over the summer. Late July and August are the months this most commonly becomes apparent. The fact that the bark is falling off is also typical of this phenomenon and is likely to happen with the maple as well as the elm. Sad to say, there is nothing you can do if the above is undeed the source of your difficulties....See MoreJapanese Maple Problems
Comments (1)If the roots dried you may lose the tree. No guarantees in this. Apply an anti -transpirant to the leaves (Wilt-pruf is a common brand) Provide some addittional shelter from the wind. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, dig down and check don't rely on waving a hose around....See MoreLaceleaf Japanese Maple Problem
Comments (2)What is your soil condition? What kind of humidity do you have? How cool does it stay or how hot does it get? If it gets hot do you spray around to cool the yard? Think of it like this: Where do you find maples? I am in California and if I want to find a maple I will have to go inland and look along stream banks and in shaded canyons. That means two things to me: they like water and they like shade or maybe coolness that shade affords them. So if the ground they are in gets hot they may become very unhappy!!! As a deciduous tree the accumulated leaf litter does have a cooling effect on the surface of the soil! So maybe the tree is trying to keep itself cool and is unable to do so. So check out the soil. Get a bunch of potted ferns or something you like and stick under that tree and water them every day. Spray the air or mist down the tree. I cannot say that the above will work. It is easy to write these words but even an image is not enough to provide a solid answer as you need to feel the leaves, touch the earth at mid day, develop a sense of that image you saw that caused you to want to plant one of these fantastic trees and understand it from that basis....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
